Look at the vines, where each new leaf sprouts. You should see groups of white bumps, which are root-starts.
If you have time, let a vine lay across a shallow tray of water, so that the root bumps develop into stronger roots.
Or, pinch off a section of vine that includes root bumps. Put it in water for a few days, to prompt root development. As soon as the roots look stronger (maybe a half-inch) you can safely plant them into potting soil.
I have never seen them bloom, however, everyone I know just started theirs from snips.

Well, there are many different kinds of Philodendrons. It really depends on the one you are wanting to propagate.
I think the most common are the philodendron Ivys which can be propagated by cutting of a piece of the vine and placing the cut end into a clear glass of water and placed in a sunny window.

All I do is pick a leaf off the plant and put it in some water (like I would do for a ornamental flower). I leave it for a few days and a root appears. After that, just plant it.
Make sure when you pick the leaf that it has a bit of the stem... the root will grow from that.
They are a real easy plant to reproduce.

cut then below a joint and put them in water. Place in a very lighted area or in front of a window.
